Traditional Gift Givers of Filipino Children: Three Kings
For hundreds of years, the magical bearers of gifts for Filipino children during Christmas were the Three Kings, not Santa Claus. In the old tradition,, shoes were brightly polished and left on the window on the eve of Three Kings Day with the cleanest socks. The children believe that the Three Kings are on their way to Bethlehem and would pass by their homes to fill their shoes and socks with gifts. Some would thoughtfully leave some straw or dry grass for the camel, if these were gone in the morning, surely the camels must have been terribly hungry.
